CC 20170117 J Code Enforcement Part-TimeRANCHO PALOS VERDES CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT AGENDA DESCRIPTION: MEETING DATE: 01/17/2017 AGENDA HEADING: Consent Calendar Consideration and possible action to create and fund a part-time Code Enforcement Officer position. RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: 1) Approve an appropriation of $17,000 to fund an additional part-time Code Enforcement Officer position; and, 2) Adopt Resolution No. 2017- to add a part-time Code Enforcement Officer position and pay scale to the Salary and Hourly Schedule. FISCAL IMPACT: As a result of a comprehensive code enforcement program to address unpermitted short-term rentals in the City, Staff anticipates that approximately $33,481 (non -benefited, maximum 950 work hours annually) would need to be allocated for the annual salary of a part-time Code Enforcement Officer. Amount Budgeted: Additional Appropriation Account Number(s): N/A $17,000 (mid -year figure) 101-4003-441-12-00: $15,500 101-4003-441-29-00: $1, 500' '.�` ORIGINATED BY: Ara Mihranian, AICP, Director of Community Development; REVIEWED BY: Gabriella Yap, Deputy City Manager -pI" APPROVED BY: Doug Willmore, City Manager ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: A. Resolution No. 2017- (Page A-1) BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: In response to the prohibition of short-term rentals at its meeting on December 20, 2016, the City Council recognized that additional Staff would be needed to enforce the prohibition, especially investigating properties that may be involved in such activity. Furthermore, with the uptick in the responsibilities of the Code Enforcement Division, which includes administering the Peafowl and Coyote Management programs along with the general enforcement of the City's Municipal Code, additional personnel are needed. Since the primary duty of this new position will be overseeing the Short -Term Rentals Enforcement Program, this position will likely require work on the weekends and evenings. Thus, at this time, Staff seeks City Council authorization to add a part - 1 time Code Enforcement Officer position and pay scale to the City's Salary and Hourly Schedule, which requires the adoption of a resolution (Attachment A). ALTERNATIVES: In addition to the Staff recommendations, the following alternatives are available for the City Council's consideration: 1. Direct Staff to hire a full-time Code Enforcement Officer. 2. Direct Staff to take no further action at this time. 2 RESOLUTION NO. 2017- A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES ADDING A JOB CLASSIFICATION TO EXHIBIT A OF RESOLUTION NO. 2016-27 PERTAINING TO THE SALARY AND HOURLY SCHEDULE FOR COMPETITIVE, MANAGEMENT AND PART-TIME CLASSIFICATIONS WHEREAS, the City Council now desires to amend the City's Salary Schedule to add a part-time Code Enforcement Officer classification to assist the City in its enforcement of, among other things, the prohibition of short-term rentals in the City's residential zoning districts; and WHEREAS, in order to amend the City's Salary Schedule changes must be made via Resolution; and, NOW, THEREFORE THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: Section 1: The following job classification and hourly pay range is hereby added to the list of part-time positions on Exhibit "A", attached to Resolution No. 2016-27: Code Enforcement Officer $29.61 to $38.46 PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 17st day of January 2017.
